While I can't speak of this locomotive in particular, similar springs on the pilot truck were used by Mantua/Tyco for the same purpose.

I haven't heard it or seen it in a long time, but steam firemen were sometimes called diamond shovelers or something like that. Plus there was the term blue diamond that I think sometimes meant coal. Someone from the coal regions like Jeffrey Ward will have to elucidate on that.

I'm thinking I'd better off just staying with batteries. I thought it would be easy to just add like 1000 ohm resistor. It's hard to hide the batteries. I have two more cars to do - another gondola and another flat with different type of light strings.
No other specs on the lights. The batteries are 3 volts. That's how I know they are 3 volts.
